Summary
A man dreams of being with his beloved for six days of the week, for seven or eight years; locked up in a room in a house with large iron gates, the keys lost and a blind man sent to look for them. He sees her in his sleep and turns round to kiss her, but is heartbroken when he remembers that she has married another.
